If ETOPS ratings are different, then the route may be altered in order to have an alternate enroute aerodrome within the ETOPS range.

If the A380 lost Number 2 & Number 3 Engines they would be in trouble. No thrust reverse for landing. While on the subjest of ETOPS, when a A380 flies between Sydney Australia to the USA & vice visa, how does ETOPS effect it actual route accross the Pacific Ocean compared to a Boeing 747-400 or 747-400ER? Correction. If the A380 lost Number 2 & Number 3 Engines they would be in trouble. No thrust reverse for landing.

It would need a very long strip to pull up and would probably burst tyres during landing. I wonder how many people know these facts? I personally have been in the aircraft; specifically the airline industry for over 42 years (retired now) and I worry about actually flying on the A380!

As a matter of fact, as you can see in the picture below (check out the throttles levers), Airbus didn't install reverses on engine num 1 and num 4. http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/photos/9/5/1/1764159.jpg The A380 must have an ETOPS rating based on its performance (including engines of course).

I believe this aircraft has an ETOPS rating due to the lack of components mounted on the two outer engines gearboxes. Engines No.1 & No.4 had many if not all components removed from the engine gearboxes to reduce weight. The Airbus A380.
